During the unveiling and fund-raising dinner for the Yoruba Music and Film Awards (YOMAFA), what initially looked like a hitch-free event ended up with altercations that left the windscreen of Fuji Musician Saheed Osupa’s Chrysler Sedan smashed and several injured.
According to reports Osupa, on realising the damage done to his vehichle, left the venue in anger only to return with a band of policemen and all hell broke loose. The peaceful unveiling party/fundraiser metamorphosed into a battle between Mr Osupa and the Fuji Music Association of Nigeria.
On who was responsible for the attack of the Fuji star and his car, Mr Osupa pointed accusing fingers on his music rival, Sule Alao Maliaka. According to reports, Osupa stated that he was on his way out of the event after his performance when a group of people including Soji Taiwo aka Omo Banke, Seun Egbegbe, and Sule Alao Malaika were throwing things at his car. He immediately drove off to the nearby police station “as a law abiding citizen” to report the matter.
However Sule Alao Malaika recently released a press statment where he clears the air on what he calls a “false and libellous story being circulated by Saidi Okunola a.k.a Osupa.” In his statement, Malaika claims he was nowhere near the scene of the crime and was being implicated by Osupa. mr malaika stated that he was discussing with a couple of his friends including Alhaji Sule Adio Atatwewe when he “saw bottles and stones flying across from the road.”
“we all moved into the hall to wait for the crisis to die down,” he says.
he also doused every rumour that he was detained by the police as a result of his allerged involvment in the damage to Osupa’s Sedan, but admits he was taken in for questioning -alongside many memebrs of the Fuji Music Association of Nigeria – but released the same day!!

sule alao malaika is a well matured and reasonable human being,he cant do such a thing to saheed.saheed broke it himself
Rasak Tijani,I diagree totally with you.You should be issuing progressive statement not the one that will be fuelling the already battered,strained relationship between this boys.well,saheed should see any mob action as act of God not to point accusing finger on anybody.Saheed,Sule should be seen as your half brother because two of you are from IBADAN one way or the other.I love two of you.
AM ONE OF OSUPA FANS & WILL BEG HIM TO FORGET EVERYTHING FOR GOD TO JUDGE.
Fuji is a brand of music that has it’s originality and history in Nigeria and we appreciate it,please stop the fighṭ
who is the cause of all this trouble?we dont know and i think the problem cant be solved until KWAM 1 call everybody from the ARABAMBI and MOTAGBAMAOLE side to let the sleeping dod lies.what others dont know is that osupa and oluaye can never fight each other becos osupa knows OLUAYE as ELDER and oluaye also know OSUPA as his junior.BARRY and KOLLINGTON should not interfere again let WASIU AYINDE settle the case.MAY GOD LET PEACE REIGN IN THE KINGDOM OF FUJI ameNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
I completely agree with Bode’s comment.k1 is truely the rally point,let them allow him put d warring factions together.
settle the matter for thi boys and let king give us more song because he [ saheed] is the only one that given us new song others are trying but king is alway shwn himself as king whenever come to singing.
thanks Salako South Korea
we ve heard series of quarells from alhiji barrister and alhaji kollington although some people felt it was a market strategy,while most poeple knew it was a rankship superiority jealosy between the 2 of them.
moreso, we ve heard similar querell from Alhji wasiu Ayinde, Alhaji Shaura Alamu and some orther immediate colleague during late 80s and perhaps till date.
however, its time for new Fuji generation – amongs Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, Sule Alao Malaika, Saheed Osupa, Sule Atawewe,& orthers.
I dont know why Saheed Osupa decided to turn Similar querell into a civil war, so far he`s claiming to be the most influenced,most talented ,the best, and the richest among others, which i think he should be contented instead of framing and packing different kinds of lies and problem within the fuji industries.
furthermore, my advice for Otunba Alabi Pasuma & the udisputed king of new fuji generation Sulaiman Alao Malaika and Baba-oloye Sulaiman Adio Atewewe is that they should not act negative or have negative thinking on saheed osupa success as his proving they are.
because i`m yet to believe him until i see him puchased BUCKINGHAM PALACE from QUEEN ELEZABETH .i love you all without exception, while i beseech you to stop disgracing fuji industry.
saheed osupa is a fool and will 4ever be a fool,i am using these abusive language bcos the guy his becoming too arogant he feels nothing can happen to him when he bahave anyhow well wait and see how he will end up h is chicken life.he said he his rich is he the only rich person here let him come and show him little yahoo boys richer than the muda fuka…………….he shouldnt cross his boundary or he will get killed with his mouth open.why on earth those he want to compare himself with pasuma,paso his loved naturally even if he wasnt a musician he would be the star he his in any field.saheed his simply jealous cos paso his handsome and girls love him if osupa is rich let him buy everything with money but paso things come freely he his favoured by God and when a man goes against a person favoured.
pride commet b4 the fall…………..saheed is an illitrate thats why he is fighting on silly things…………let him go to the oil companies were younger guys use diffirent expensive cars……….fuck him i say so
he should be careful we are not happy with wat he is doing and his life might be at stake.
when he dresses up he looks like a meat seller no matter how expensive the cloths are,his head his as big as that of three pple………………i wonder if he wears caps lol…………….he should be a clown and not a musician wat music his he playing local champion like him…..was he not there when paso went for celebrity takes two……….and how many hiphop song as he recorded paso knows music better than him thats why he can blend.only local pple from kwara and others like osupa music meat sellers,chacoal sellers,labourers and iron benders are his fans
Some people are just set of fools and i believe stupidity is their ancor, with such people in this our country there is no how we can move foward, pls let stop this act of condeming our fellow brothers, are we encoraging peace of violence, how one on hearth buy an expensive car and use his tow hands to break the wind screen? i think the best way is to find a lasting solution to the Fuji music industry war not to be complicating issue, Osupa, Paso, Malaika there is nothing like unity you guys should come back as one family, though all these fighting stuff is been part of music world wide be you shouldnt tollerate violence, may God be with each and everyone of you one love.
I think we should speak with modesty and act like an educated person we call ourself.I wonder if this guy accusing Saheed Osupa the undisputed King of Music of gross misconduct is not a mercenary for host of other antagonist to Saheed.
To correct you wrong notion you made mentioned of guys which really show that you celebrate dubious act known world wide.Secondly your accusation of been illiterate has nothing to play in this context and more so what is your definition of illiteracy?Please brother my perception is that you are jealous of this guy.I dont know the group you belong to,but my advice to you is that you should not allow your little education push you into pit.
Your selection of words is so bad that you cannot be a good leather.Please learn how to address issues.Do you have anything at stake in this issue?If yes you have cross your boundry then.How could you illustrate this issue to the extent of mentioning death at somebody.Guy that is barbaric and senseless to me if permitted the way you had sounded to Saheed.Guy you have to go and learn the rudiments of public address,your public relation is the worst I have seen.
I would like to advice Saheed as well to be more careful and concentrate more on his job.I know he wants to clear the music industry off from the papagolo musician like rugged man did in Rap industry.Take it cool it is a gradual process.
Hakeem or Akimu,what do you call yourself?Guy Nigerian syndrome of talking anyhow is really disturbing you.I still look at your write up and see that you are among group of people who have no clear view of issues before giving their judgement.I am far away from Nigeria and I still keep contact with all various fuji music till date.Everybody knows who is who in the industry.Even Mr fuji knows best than me and you do.
Let me ask you this question.What is the source and origin of music?I know you do not know because people like you tends to be too full of themselves that they allow western lifestyle to eat up their Yoruba thinking.The answer to this question is:music originated from quarrelling.If so why are you so confussed to the extent of giving your poor and short sighted judgement.You are not a fair judge then.Saheed,Paso,Malaike,Atawewe and others knows their ranks and stutus in the industry not minding the title bestowed on each of them.
Frankly speaking Akimu going by you write up your are not a good listener of Fuji music and you should mind your tongue never you contribute to issue of such magnitude and do not allow mouth to put or drag you into pit.
I implore whoever that knows his role in this seemingly fuji war to act fast.Mr Fuji,Kollinton,K1,Obesere,Rasheedi Ayinde,Shina Akanni, and host of others to do something to end the war and let enjoy better rythm in the industry.From Finland.
Ben, i belife u 2 be the biggest fool in the world, how can you compare beauty with music, wheather paso handsome or not, Osupa ugly or not, that one is predesigned by God, I believed that Osupa is the Best among his Generations,
Although Pasuma is taking Fuji 2 the Next Level, Kudos 2 him,
After Oluaye, I belived Osupa should take over as the Fuji KING,
SAKA OROBO should be equal among all, being a president to all
My sincere apology goes to Akeem,Please sorry for the mistaken of identity I was quoting Ben not you.I wonder where that Ben of a guy emanated from.
Once more Akeem I am sorry
lol ..Saheed you have to think, boyz are geting money, ure fightin around, that’s not the way of life, the undisputed king continue your life, magbe sun mo ogun lon lo
saheed and pasuma were best of friend before but (ija lode lorin dowe) as yoruba use to say. all of you fuji musicians should not mind some of these comments because they are irritating, fuman is a big family please sing about love and harmony. ile-Alayo ko ni baje.
i believe those who are contributed positively to the success of the fuji stars are looking forward to find a solution to them, i see no reason 4 someone to come to a conclusion without knowing exactly the cause of their querelling. pls my friend let yield and face reality to this young and talented musician. Abbey from Sokoto
osupa u wil b my role leader til i die
saheed baba won,ride on
i somuch like both of them, their music is so meaningful and adviceable to the world, but i dont while the music industry as yet find solution case, because this are peaple that sing to advice the world ,goverment, widows and hopeless ones, i will like to advice doctor sikiru ayinde barister and the top musician to please look up to these problem before it get worster than these,,,,,,,,,,, omoade from switzerland
they are more better things to do than fighting and quarreling, you think you guys think you are a kid no
why the misbehaviour
wat is happening in the house of fuji is just so unfortunate. people like saheed, shpuld learn how to be well behaved and not bragging around town. he might be richer, but he cant compare his status wit that of other fuji musician like: paso, maliaka, ayuba, obesere and te king of fuji music; k1 d ultimate. sahhed is just making himself an empty barrel which makes the loudest sound. i will like people who are closer to him to call him and advice him on how to relate well with people n respect elders. saheed remember that OGUN MA SUN KO OO.
when people comment on the issue that they are unfamiliar with,i lower my head in sorrow because the best jugde in the world do not put up one-sided attitude.though what we beg for is ultimate and everlasting peace to reign in fuji house,things other musicians do or say to provocate the king, people(awon olote)dont take notice but when the guy reply them that is when they started complaining.and there is an adage in yoruba saying,if someone doesnt care to throw you a pebble,dont bother to throw back a dynamite.that is just the case between between olufimo and the others.pasuma went straight to k1 to give him otunba titleship because people felt is a worthless title nobody care about it,but the creator of fuji endorsed the king,and the rest felt he had taken the title they had been waiting for,they hide under the pretext of protesting for k1,to condemn the act.but what god has made nobody can destroy it.king saheed osupa okunola is cornerstone that become the pillar of a house anybody that is trying to pull him does so on his detriment.KING SAHEED OSUPA OKUNOLA.OLUFIMO,MATAGBAMOLE……………………………………………………………………………………….PRAY FOR ALL YOUR ENEMY GOD WE GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY HAVE IN MIND FOR YOU
I LOVE KING SAHEED OSUPA.THERE ARE TWO CLUB IN FUJI HOUSE,OLUFIMO AND THE OTHERS
Guys I really respest all comments posted on this issue in regardless of the opposite view expressed.if some of you visit yutube and view sayeed osupa,pasuma or safejo amama’s vedio you will see the level of reasoning of most of them.
To be objective,
sayeed osupa is currently given us good fuji music,he’s very creative and talented, he’s not copying anybody and he’s original however, he allow success to get into his head and he could not manage success,he’s PR need to inprove.
Wasiu Alabi ,he very good,talent, still improving and cry people along with his music.
Sule Alao, need improvement,not bad at the moment but still have a long way to go.traveling all over the world is not enough as he current hold a british passport.
Wasiu Ayinde,very talented,on top of the fuji game, very exprerence,hily compose only need a leadship skill..
Before anyone disagree with me please visit youtube and click on any of this fuji artist RECORDED ALBUMS not Live and see the difference.Above all a like them all and am alittle disturbed when I see them rain abuses on themself on youtube clips especially Safejo amama who still have a very Long way to go in terms of his music.
One love.
why is it that u are the one know how to sing like owe, why?
send me ur picrure
kudus to saheed osupa big daddy, i love ur music
.
my name is ARISEKOLA from IBADAN oyo state i love fuji music so much esspecialy the music of DR KING SAHEED OSUPA OLUFIMO AKOKO MATAGBAMOLE 1 the next MFR world wide
saheed cant just point at him when they are alot od ppl there…Why should omo banke do this with the way i like him…..He fucked up if that is true
It is very interesting to read all these comments but in my own true opinion, I belief Saheed is just too much and is far far better than pasoma when it comes to reasonable music. Although, Paso is good as well and very much of an entertainer but than alone cannot win him the title..king of music. I really dont think safejo can even sing without copying saheed style and without saheed there is no safejo. It is true saheed might be a lil bit arrogant as some might have pointed out but in my opinion is just over-confident and there is a different between the two. This is just my true and un-bias opinion.
i think fuji music should by now gone beyond title but creativity and acceptability not just within the yorubas but accros other etnic groups within nigeria and beyond. the only way u can do that is to try to redefine fuji music with a blend of modern tips. am not saying we should 4get wat fuji music is all about the fact is that every thing is prone to change. according to sikiru ayinde barrister fuji music emmanate from apala and apala from ajiwere,so i give it to pasuma for is creativity in fuji music where by young once still find time to appreciate fuji music despite modern music (hip hop) that has overtaking nigeria music. it makes me glad to see fuji musician (pasuma) being feature wit 9ice,ruggedman,eedris abdul kareem,wired mc,olu maintain and other modern artist.also being invited to pertake in celebrities takes two,being invited to hip hop world awards,also a brand to globacom thareby performing all over nigeria where fuji music has not being heard before. so my advise to all fuji musician as a die hard follower of fuji music is to foget all this fight and see how fuji music can accept wider acceptability. fuji music should not be a thing a thugs and area boys,i want to wake up and see fuji musician being invited to state functioneries. may God continues to bless and preserve Yorubas heritage which fuji music is part of
In the year 2006 50 CENT made a statement on MTV BASE about JARULE said in 8 months coming there would nobody bearing JARULE again in USA since years back now there’s nothing like JARULE, My advice to ALL PASUMA FANS please give him an advice to forget about SAHEED OSUPA bcos wearing designers or been a fine boy will never sort the problem when the times come. All there fans or people who likes them will never listen to designer or beauty they will like to listen to what is coming out from there brain, please if you are a truly nigerian citizen pls go to YOUTUBE and listen to BABA ALASELA AND OMO ALASEJERE, on youtube just enter king DR saheed osupa u will see him wearing white cap with buba pls listen to part 7 and 8 and then make a comment on it thanks.
KING pls forget about all of them you have made it in your song all of them are not your ENEMIES they are (SABABI) to you including ARABANBI 1 just leave them. i can see when u hold your microphone it shows from your face that you’re hard working OSUPA ride ON. OMO ALASEJERE
osupa 4 live
saidi osupa always liar,he said u bought homer geep,nobody didnt see it
Arisekola u are right,saheed is singing,eventhough pasuma &ayinde know that.pasuma is my Good friend.my advise is that pasuma &osupa should stop fighting,so that God should continue 2 bless them.I LUV U ALL.YOU PEOPLE SHOULD REMEMBER 2MORROW,THAT IS NOT CLEAR 2 EVERYONE.I THANK GOD BOTH OF U ARE MUSLIM.TRY
AND SETTLE EVERYTHING.MASALAM
